Our under 3s project introduces young children to dance through music, storytelling and multisensory play.
It enables the centres’ staff to develop the confidence and skills to deliver dance activities themselves as a regular part of their work, while allowing the children to respond creatively to the exploration of a story.

Our workshops give you the chance to explore your creativity and develop your ballet skills with the help of a professional dance artist.
Whether you are new to ballet or have danced all your life, we will help you learn the steps from one of our productions in no time.

Our short ballets introduce children and their families to ballet and the theatre for the first time.
Performed in small and informal settings with affordably priced tickets and at only 45 minutes long, the ballets offer a chance to see high quality productions that are accessible to all.
Over the next three years we are performing three original short ballets made specifically for children aged 4+ across the northern region.

This resource pack is designed to give teachers an insight into Northern Ballet’s production of Beauty & the Beast, and to provide creative ideas and tasks that can be used in the classroom.
It is particularly suitable for teachers working with pupils in dance and drama. It also provides some signposts for links with other areas of the curriculum.
